Warm-up

What is the difference between a URL and a domain? Keep your answer in your head. You will check it in a few minutes.

Today's six words

• A web browser is the app that opens websites, like Chrome or Edge.
• The user interface (UI) is everything on screen you see and click.
• Cloud storage means online folders you can open on any computer, like OneDrive.
• A URL is the full web address of a page.
• The domain is just the short site name inside the URL.
• HTTPS means the connection is encrypted, and you see a padlock.

Example: In https://www.citizensinformation.ie/en/ the whole address is the URL, and citizensinformation.ie is the domain.

Watch your teacher do this first. Then follow the steps in the box below to make your glossary in {{code:sm4}} and fill in the first three rows.

If something goes wrong

• If you can't find {{code:sm4}}, go back to {{code:Project_Portfolio}} and open {{code:09_specialism}} first.
• If your document saved in the wrong place, move it into {{code:sm4}}.
• If you mixed up URL and domain, remember that the domain is only the short site name, like citizensinformation.ie.
• If your table is the wrong size, remember you need 3 columns and 7 rows.
